I'm sure it wouldn't be thaaaaat bad :lol:

I think most of the metal they use in medical devices is non-magnetic for exactly that reason. I have a plate in my foot that is some sort of non-magnetic titanium alloy thing.

it has more to do with biocompatibility than anything else. Titanium usually doesn't raise a foreign body reaction, so it can be used without your body mounting a massive immune reaction to it and rejecting it.

Just before you go in, swallow something really strange like one of those plastic fridge-magnet letters.

It'd have to be something with a really defined outline. Also, you'd have to act like it's not very abnormal.

It was kind of cool. Wasn't the entire body, just my knee. The cage I was in was pretty weird, but they had cool music playing. Like psychedelic elevator trance. I kept dozing off into these half dreaming half awake states. Startled myself a few times. And didn't know where I was for a second. Pretty interesting.

Mine wasn't bad, they even let me bring my own CDs to listen to. I went with Grandaddy, my favorite chill-out music ever. I guess the tube could be a little claustrophobic, but my place blindfolded me too, so I couldn't even tell.
